Do dates matter?
My Movable Type installation seems to have gone all "screwy" (if you'll forgive me for using such a technical term) and hasn't been displaying dates properly for quite some time now.
I don't have the time - or much inclination, really - to look at what's causing the problem, so I've just removed the dates from each post as a quick fix.
Of course, that means there's now no way of knowing when any particular post was written (although the month still appears in the URL, if you're someone who looks at that sort of thing).
Does that matter?
In any case, it's a pretty theoretical question when you consider that I do most of my blogging on my tumblelog (horreo.org) now anyway.
